It’s hard to understate just how massive Baldur’s Gate 3 became post-launch. Larian’s RPG garnered a lot of fans, who became infatuated with the world, story, and especially its characters. Now, in Patch 5, BG3 solidifies a particular fan-favorite character as a part of the journey.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix 11 Sorts Out Gale's Romance Scene, Fix Incoming for Astarian Kissing
17.11.2023 - 14:57 / ign.com
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has released Hotfix #11, which addresses several bugs, visual issues, and blockers and takes the phenomenally successful Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game up to v4.1.1.3956130.
As is tradition at this point, Larian had fun with the patch notes, describing how the studio sorted out a blocker that popped up during Gale’s romance scene.
“Have you ever had a romance so intense, that everything melts away? Well, sometimes that isn’t intentional. We’ve fixed an issue where Gale’s romance scene was playing in what looked like some kind of black void. Consider the ambience restored.”
Meanwhile, Larian said it’s working on a fix for Astarion’s kissing animations, which it’s very much aware of. This fix is set for a future update.
FIXES
This week, Larian announced Baldur's Gate 3's long-awaited physical edition, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X in Q1 of 2024. It's only the latest piece of Baldur's Gate 3 news to drop recently as Larian enjoys a victory lap, with seven wins at the recent Golden Joysticks and eight nominations at the upcoming Game Awards. Larian is set to announce Baldur’s Gate 3’s similarly long-awaited Xbox release date at the Game Awards on December 7. Larian has even started to tease its "next big game".
Baldur's Gate 3, of course, has been a massive commercial and critical success since its official release on PC in August. IGN gave it a 10/10, praising its "crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a memorable story with complex characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always rewards exploration and creativity."
